I clicked open the email with the subject line, “1 in 10 Arizonan women over 50 admit to drinking more now than they did in their 20s and 30s, reveals poll.” If we’d known what was coming, I thought, smirking, we’d have been drinking more back then. Over the course of a week, I get dozens of press releases about surveys like that one of 3,160 women older than 50 from Recovery.org, which provides treatment options. I call them, I-could-have-told-you-that surveys (and saved the people behind them a lot of work). The same was true of the press release, “1 in 3 Arizonans deem alcohol an 'essential product' during the pandemic, reveals survey.”
